In a word, Yes.
Another word or two , it is highly recommended you [should] do a FULL-WIPE, if installing a diffident Rom from the one you are using.

Hi,
Got my desire yesterday and OTA upgraded to 2.2. Now have a hboot of 0.92 - not sure what is was before upgrade. I didnt realise that this might balls up my chances of getting root.
Looked around these parts and think that it's probably impossible to do. Unless anyone knows different am I just playing a waiting game?
Thanks.
debully.
U can downgrade hboot to 0.82

""After you've done the steps above you will have the following:

i had the OTA 2.2 Froyo with hboot of 0.92 and used that guide to downgrade my hboot so i could root and then upgrade to a Froyo Rom that doesnt increase th hboot to 0.92.
its really easy tbh
haha! easy for you! I'm a retard!
EDIT - actually, you dont have an SLCD device do you? Otherwise downgrading to .80 would've given you the blank screen...not so retarded after all.

I had made S-OFF with EasyS-OFF before. I'm trying to S-OFF but Visionary doesn't seem to be working with this version . I attempt temproot and I get a black screen after a few moments. how can I do flasched a rom WWE?thanks.
i had the same problem 1 week ago and didnt find anything, and that ****ing ruu dont have gapps
are you able to check what is the bootloader version?

1. This is in the wrong section.
2. There are several threads about this already. No need to start a new one.
3. If you don't have s-off anymore it means you didn't have radio s-off and now you are stuck. You will not have root again.
Have a nice day.
Hello everyone and thanks for the replies. then in the future will be out a way to make the root in this version?thanks.

Most likely it will at some point in the future. If at all possible that is (insert scared shudder here).
The new devices rolling off the assembly line somewhere will all have the latest ROM and imho there are just too many useful things that require root.
If HTC, on the other hand, has succeeded in closing this ROM so tight that are no holes left to exploit I personally think that it will reflect negatively on their sales. Fat lot of good that will do us, I know.

Just bought a new vodafone wildfire and had it sim unlocked
Its on 2.2.1 and hboot is 1.001
So I get the joke, I can't root it
But is there still a way of putting a generic ROM on it ?
If the "old days" you could do it with a gold card.
Does this still work on "2.2.1" ?
many thanks in advance
No, it doesn't. Sorry.
You could try downgrading there is a thread but the issus is there is a possibility of bricking the device so of course be carefully

Indeed .... don't do this.
It's to risky....wait and root if it's possible for u !
u can only update RUU rom.
you could do the S-OFF (security off)in any bigger service with XTC-clip,after that you can root and flash what ever you wish......

I am new to android. I have used WinMob for the last 6 years.
I tried several times with a gold card and the shipped WWE RUU, but failed with a signature error.
I searched but couldn't fine a specific thread on flashing stock RUU for 2.2.1. Can someone plz point me.... Thanks in advance.
Question don't belong in the Development section <---please click link and read....moved to general...
the older days have gone.
none of the processes which worked for eclair wildfire (with older hboot) now work for froyo wildfire.
And till now, on froyo wildfire with hboot 1.01, u cant even get a simple root just for using ROOT ONLY APPS.
what all u can do is WAIT DUDEEEE...................

Oh i dunno maybe if you put this question in the right place then yes it would be answers for you..
There is a Q&A section for you to put this question in don't waste developers time and mods time by putting your question here. you will get flamed just a fair warning I'm not mad just saying...
Dont think its possible Teppic74's downgrader wouldn't work on the ARA build, so doubt it will work like this.

You should had to ask this in your mind before flashing an RUU that contain an hboot update!
Go to www.shipped-roms.com and find the froyo RUU and flash it, it should downgrade your hboot and you should be able to root again. If you have a branded desire you’re going to need goldcard.
I you dont know how to Flash a RUU use the search function

It's reported to not work! The new hboot does not allow to flash an older hboot.
An S-off could have protected him. Have you tried the new AlpharevX to try and S-Off ur device? If it works, you can reverse the process later.

Try their irc channel as well. It could be a 'soft' incompatibility, wherein they've disabled it because they havent yet tested it.
Is there no other rootable rom of the same hboot?

2. every time the same, people will first flash and ask questions later

Paul Obrien did. Someone might ask him how to
he also flashed the hboot that came with the update.

If I not wrong, was a temp root anyway. But if Paul flashed the new hboot, this is a good news for those that flashed it too. He will of course find the way to change rom

I agree as well, but in the meantime there possibly are a few thousand Desire users who want this problem solved. Another possibility is that people who waited for the GB-update want to root after this disappointing update. They also might be potential donators (including me), so please get root for the official GB-update up and running!
Thanks in advance!
Hello mates, i'm having the same issue, just want to downgrade back to froyo and i can't do it because of the hboot . i've tried with unrewoked, went to shipped roms but nothing succeded.. can you please, tell me if someone managed to fix it ? thanks.

Hi Guys!
I bought a used DZ for my Girfriend.
It has Eng-Off and CWM installed already.
I read here in the forum that it would be "cleaner" to have S-Off instead of Eng-Off? Is this correct?
if yes, how can i do it? Can i just click on S-Off in AMT?
Thank you in advanced, regards, Chris

ENG is referring to the HBOOT (there's no such thing as ENG-OFF); you can return to the standard HBOOT while keeping S-OFF (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999796) though, keeping the ENG HBOOT won't hurt anything.

Hello!
Thank your for the answer, but sorry for being anoying.
XDA is always over the top and I'm flashing my HD2 since a half year, but sometimes some basics are ahrd to understand, so please let me asksome more questions:
1. Eng-Off: Ok, so i will let her device as it is. I flashed yesterday the virtuous sense 3.0 rom, she is very satisfied with it
I will get my brand new DZ on Monday, so am I with the following right?
2. If i have a software higher than 1.34 I have to connect it to AMT, click on "Downgrade ROM" and then put the 1.34 on the SD-Card, Boot in Hboot and the phone will ask to install it, right?
3. When done this, i can go back to AMT and click s-off, super-cid, perm root, install recovery and let it work?
4. When this is done, i can go into hboot -> recovery and can flash the rom i want to?
If we have to send one back to HTC for warranty how can i get it back to stock the easiest way?
Only found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Returning_to_Stock
But this looks very complicated to me, isn't there a easier way?

Glad I could help.
As far as #2-4, I'm not sure what AMT is so, I can't say; I would however recommend using the guide in the Wiki for all of those steps. The guide is always the most up to date and, while the steps seem complicated, they really aren't (I rooted my G2 following the guide while drinking the day root was first achieved), just be sure to check your typing before sending the commands and all will be fine.
